Rob Ryan’s media debut started cute, ended with him saying New Orleans blames him for Katrina
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Seriously, Rob Ryan? Really? Look, I know you probably thought this was a joke, but it was bad. Really bad. How can you live in New Orleans for three years and STILL not get that Hurricane Katrina jokes aren’t okay? The vast majority of us don’t live in New Orleans, and even we know it’s beyond the pale. Rich Eisen’s reaction says it all.
Ryan’s media debut was ... painful. It started out being cute with Ryan making jokes about his “bye-bye week.”
Then quickly devolved. It’s like watching an old, out-of-touch comedian stand on stage and try to be entertaining, bombing before your very eyes.
